My local Joann's is only about 5 miles away and booming. It's not a super store but I can't imagine it would be slated to close since I've spoken with the manager several times and been told they would like to expand in the area.
I live near Augusta, ME, the State capital, and yet Augusta has no quilting shops. There are two within 10 miles but I'm further north and have one close by and another larger store 60 miles to the north near Bangor, ME.
I buy all my notions at Joann's when they have the 50% off sale. I've been able to buy things I would be able to afford at full price and love the store but I do buy my fabrics at another quilt store further north.
